Listen Later
May 5, 2025: Christian Boucher, Head of Healthcare Strategy and Solutions at Island, joins Drex for the news. They discuss the recent VMware price shock situation, diving into a deeper industry-wide issue: what happens when healthcare becomes overly dependent on specific technology pillars? Are health systems flexible enough to pivot when market forces dramatically shift the technology landscape? Throughout their discussion, Christian emphasizes the value of community collaboration in solving these complex problems, suggesting the future lies in healthcare organizations working together to test emerging technologies rather than each institution going it alone.
